This one sums up our last 3 days with and had to have a place here for the people in my phone!
Ian and I have # watched him grow up over the last 14 years into an extraordinary young man. He’s knowledge and passion for his work is evident and it’s been wonderful to spend time with him on a few of his days off as part of our holiday.
This was after a long lazy lunch where the boys had beer and wine….

Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday began in medieval England as the day people returned to their mother church on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Servants and apprentices were given the day off to travel home, often bringing gathered spring flowers for their mothers. Over time, the tradition of homecoming and honouring mothers became the day we recognise today.

This year it feels tender for me. It’s my first without any of my fur babies and 14th Mothering Sunday without my mum, and I miss them all deeply.

Holding love and gratitude for all the mothers, ancestors, and women who have cared for us.

I woke to blue skies this morning, so headed out to investigate what’s around in preparation for my foraging walk planned in a few weeks.

Violets are pushing through, cleavers are tangling along the hedgerows, and the bright green spears of wild garlic are starting to emerge. The bluebells are just beginning to rise, blackthorn is frothing in white blossom, and the birds are in full, jubilant song. The land is definitely waking.

If you’d like to slow down and truly notice what’s growing on your doorstep, come and join me for a gentle wild food and plant exploration walk around Warlingham.

We’ll wander locally together, learning to identify whatever the season is offering. I’ll share folklore, traditional uses, and simple ways to work respectfully with these plants, so you leave not just with knowledge, but with a deeper connection to the land right here at home.

This is a relaxed, welcoming walk no experience needed, just curiosity and sturdy shoes possibly wellies as it’s been such a wet winter.

Come and discover the quiet abundance waiting for you in Warlingham.

Looking for something different for your Mum for Mothers day?

Join Jakki for a practical early spring foraging walk as we explore the hedgerows, field edges and woodland margins of Happy Valley to see what’s just beginning to emerge.

Early March is a key time for nutritious spring greens and tree buds, the earth is just waking up and offering some of her most vibrant medicine.

On this walk you’ll learn:

• How to identify common early spring plants
• What’s safe to forage and what to leave
• Sustainable harvesting guidelines
• Traditional food and medicinal uses with some folklore
• Simple preparation ideas you can try at home

This session is perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to build confidence with seasonal wild foods.

This photo was taken on New Year’s Eve 2025, and in it I felt beautiful like a winter princess.

I worked hard on myself throughout 2025: biweekly therapy, strength training at the gym, daily walks, and eating in a way that nourished rather than punished my body.

In 2026, I intend to continue all of this with more consistency, allowing my insides to truly match my outsides. When I look at this photo, it shows me how far I’ve come and how I feel about myself now. I know I still have a way to go, but this journey isn’t about losing weight quickly. There will be no surgery or jabs, it’s about moving slowly, consciously, and staying aware of when even “good” habits begin to turn into crutches.

Preparing and eating my meals has become a ritual, because this body of mine has been through so much, and she deserves so much more.

2025 was about shedding.
2026 is about moving forward and truly giving myself permission to be seen.
